THE BARRON CASE.
what the Journal thinks Concerninr W.T. =,
the Progressive Age Thinks. 80"

The Progressive Age speaking Of the stor,
OF Burnham Estes as related to a Kennebet
Journal reporter, says:
HE must have found hard wagoninp ali
the way to Boston, with three feet of snow
ana it seems singular that, if he made such
important discoveries, he should have kept il
to himself till this time"
Age is evidently beginning to tell on the
Age. Let us jog your recreant memory, ven.
cradle friend. If you will turn back in YOU,
mental scrap book to the year 1877, you will
find that there was remarkable open white,
and that wheels were used more or les:
throughout. On Christmas day of that yea,
child was buried in this city, the grave
being dug without shovelling any snow, and
the mourners rode to the cemetery in car.
riages.
We know that the "three feet of snow
yarn has been spun pretty extensively, bu,
the memory of the Coolest inhabitant' proves
it to be pure CUFF. If you will
reflect a moment on this you will doubt
less remember that such is the case.
Newspaper reports sometimes err but the
y. ii. was never known to tell lie. We
think dear Age that your hasty editorial OF
this Barron case will some day cause you to
shed bitter tears of remorse. Your statement
that ''the story is utterly rejected by all the
lawyers engaged in the investigation of the
alleged TO bbery and murder, and the proba
bilities are that the prisoners will be dis
charged at the examination which is to be
cid next Saturday" will hardly hold water
We know OF several very able lawyers who
have investigated the story actually told BY
| stain and believe it to be substantially
correct. As to the probabilities" that those
prisoners will be discharged at the examna
| ton Saturday we think you are sway off
We have gone to a great deal of labor ant
expense to sift this matter and think we have
done so pretty thoroughly. We do not pre-
tend to be Chalchas dear Age, but if those
prisoners are discharged at the Saturday ex
animation you can call on US for new sill

Cruel Persian Punishmonts.

From the Cosmopolitan.
Cruelty seems Unborn with the Pers-
ian. I have seen little children of
both sexes stoning a poor cur to
death and literally hacking q miser-
able cat to pieces just for the fun OF
the thing, and without any interior
ence from their parents, often even
with their active cooperation:
The death penalty is usually carried
out with a view of making the culprit
undergo the most horrible fortunes,
and OF affording grateful sight to the
callous populace. On the Koop. Kapu
in Teheran, the square IN the heart of
the city where executions usually
take place, a half score of delinquents
are often placed on the raised plat
form, surmounted by the pole painted
a brilliant scarlet, and in full sight of
the rabble assembled they have their
throats cut, their hearts torn out,
their ears and noses slit, their tongues
pulled out, their eyes scared, or boil
ing pitch poured over their naked
bodies to everybodv's great delecta-
ton except the parties directly con-
cerned.
Along the highways one meets,
stuck i'll the ground, short, hollow
pillars with the upper opening closed
with gypsum. Each of these contains
q mana condemned criminal walled
up alive. Faint groans may often be
heard by passers. by, for this mode of
death is slow and very painful; but
nobody thinks it worth his while to
liberate the poor wretch or to termi-
nate his sufferings by merciful blow.
"Kismet" they say. "Such is fate"

A Remarkable Growth.

The many friends of Messrs. Montrom-
cry Ward & Co., formerly at 227 and 229
Wabash Av., Chicago. will be glad to know
that the rapid growth OF their business
has forced them to remove from Wabash
Ave. to Ill, 112. 113 and ia Michigan
Ave-, where they have purchased magnifi-
cent building. the seven floors OF which they
will occupy exclusively. These seven floors
arc each 1OOx165 feet, aggregating nearly
100, 0OOsquare feet (about acres) of door
surface. The new quarters will enable
them to handle their large business to q
better nd vantage Of their thousands of Gus
TONER'S. Fifteen years ago Messrs. Mont.
gomery Ward & Co. occupied but one room
and that only 25x4O feet. The enormous
growth OF their business during these fifteen
years can only be explained by the fact
that they sell direct to consumers, supply.
ing all their ants, and never misrepreeent
any article. The success OF this house
proves the old saying, that Honesty is
the best policy" and from this policy they
never deviate The Fall catalogue issued
by Messrs. Montgomery Ward 4 Co. ought
to he in every family.

Generous rivalry:

If people dramatically opposed to
each other in opinion are ever ready
to find common meeting-ground. it
may easily be in music. An old col
der tells, in a Chicago paper, the sto.
~ of two musical contests during the
war, in which one side enulated the
generosity of the other.
When some of the parties were en-
camped .Kenesaw Mountain, the OPP
posing parties were so near each 9th
or that one could hear the bands of
the other almost as plainly as their
own. On the morning Of July 4th, the
Union bands played our national airs,
while those Of the confederate army
gave 'Dlxie" and the "Bonnie Blue
Flag"
: For a time there was quite con.
test as to which side could make the
most noise, and after that had ended,
the confederates, to the great surprise
OF the Union men, began playing Hail
Columbia" s.-.. F.
Not to be outdone in courtesy, one
of the Union bands then played "Dix.
ie," and the interchange Of compli-
t1ents continued through quite an ex-
tended programme. Enthusiasm and
generous feeling was the order of the
day, but that night the very men who
had been cheering each other were en-
gagged in fierce diminishing.
While the two armies were in camp
at Chattanooga, there were twenty or
thirty excellent bands on each side
daily playing their respective airs.
One night, after most of them had
retired from duty, three or four of
the best bands in each army played
Tor an hour or more, as if in rivalry.
In the Union camp, after ''Hail Co.
!umbia" had been given, there would
be cheer on cheer from ten thousand
throats.
"Bonnie Blue Flag" from the other
side. would be followed by an equal
uproar from its supporters.
At length, a Union band struck up
'"The Girl Left Behind Me-" and, for
a minute, there was silence in the 9TH
tr camp; then g. Confederate band
caught up the refrain, and two played
it together to the end. When they
had finished, there came, as if by com.
mon impulse, a succession of cheers
from both camps, and the pickets,
throwing caution to the winds, stood
up and shouted together.-Youth's
Companion.
